Note the addresses of these two yellow awning-ed businesses on 86th Street in Brooklyn. It's a little hard to see on the photo shop but it is 1959. Unfortunately, the hair salon at 1961 had English teachers that taught them to proofread before spending thousands of dollars on signs. That would have been amazing if three awnings in a row were highlighted today.

This sign on the street in the East Village on E7 between 1st and A is quite charming with its excessive use of punctuation.

To be honest, I wasn't even sure how to correct this sign. My initial reaction was resell, but then I second-guessed myself. What, exactly, do they do with your clothes? Do they buy AND resell them? Do they buy them FOR resale? I have so many questions!!
